Does the winner get all of the piercings? And what did you mean, youve been ripped off by outbidders?

Apr 27th, 2013 at 11:33:23 PM PDT by

Yes all the piercings. Since I found out that Listia is a rip-off just give me your mailing address and I will send you the piercings you can just make a donation to one of the charity's for as much or as little as you would like.

Yes you get them all. Outbidders is when the auction bids against you to get higher bids That is what Listia dose that is why as soon as you bid it says you have been out bid.

How did you get ripped off?

Apr 28th, 2013 at 9:34:53 AM PDT by

When you bid on something Listia bids on the same thing to bring up the price so that you have to bid higher . This is wrong. I am an honest man I run honest businesses and don't believe in ripping ppl off. I would rather give my things away than rip off ppl.

Just wondering cause ive auctioned 3 items already...

Apr 28th, 2013 at 9:35:30 AM PDT by

Dang. I didnt know that. Wow. Well thank you for not ripping me off.

Apr 28th, 2013 at 9:45:16 AM PDT by

Know prob. I will never rip off anyone.

Apr 28th, 2013 at 9:52:40 AM PDT by

Im happy you wont rip anyone off, listia always does that to me like for something that would be 10 one minute and i can bid up to 300 and i would still be outbid. Your a very kind person!

That is what I was talking about.

Do you think its maybe other bidders besides Listia who like what you like too? I am not trying to make excuses. My seldom auctions are usually free shipping but I usually bid on low credits with shipping fees. Who ever decides to outbid me that is their gain and their Bill now...so I don't sweat when I lose. I just look at it as it was not meant for me to have. I just look at Listia as some things are better on here than the local thrift, consignment or antique shops. I tell my friends it just a online thrift store and I love it. Most of the thrift stores I go to is full of dust so it is easier here. I found some great deals and people too. I hope things work out ok for you.

No I have an email from Listia telling me that they over bid us to get the seller the highest price.

Ticket #298989: Out biding

Thank you for contacting us Bee1958,

I'm sorry to see that you were outbid immediately after placing your bid on an auction. Our proxy-style auction system is designed to automatically bid for a user, up to the maximum amount of credits a user specified. That way, you don’t have to stay glued to your screen while an auction progresses. When a bid is placed, it's actually the maximum amount of credits that the bidder is willing to bid, and the system only applies the credits needed for you to be the winning bidder. Since you were outbid immediately after placing your bid, it means that someone else entered a bid that’s higher than yours. I'll provide an example below.

An auction currently has a bid of 100 credits on it by User A. User A entered a maximum bid of 500 credits which is not revealed to anyone other than User A. User B places a bid for 300 credits on the auction and User A immediately outbids User B with a bid of 303 credits, even though User A isn’t currently online. Our system will automatically place bids on User A's behalf up to their maximum bid of 500 credits.

Please also note If user B were to bid 500 credits, User A would continue to be the winning bidder at a bid price of 500 credits, since they were the first person to place the same maximum bid of 500 credits. It’s first come, first served in that case.

I hope this explains why you were outbid on the auction immediately and my response addresses this concern. Please rate my response so that we can continue improving our support to you...it takes less than 5 seconds and it helps us out a lot.
